Oregon Marching Band Reunion

Celebrating 60 years of Color Guard

September 1–3, 2023

Twirl those flags, friends! We’re celebrating 60 years of Color Guard!

It’s time once again for the annual Oregon Marching Band reunion, a full weekend of activities including an awards reception, your favorite pre-game tailgate, and an opportunity to perform at Autzen Stadium. Hosted by the UO Alumni Association and the School of Music and Dance, the reunion will be a great way to reconnect with former bandmates before entertaining the crowd as the Ducks take on Portland State University.

We heard your feedback from past reunions and made a couple changes for this year. We drastically discounted the cost of performing in the stands (you only pay for your t-shirt). Additionally, we’re expanding our tailgate tent in tailgate alley to provide us with a little additional space to connect with friends.

As usual, performing registrants will have access to the stadium to sit in the band section. Non-performing registrants can purchase their tickets to the game directly through goducks.com and choose section 1 to sit by the band. Click here for a full schedule of events.

Come back to Eugene to reconnect with classmates, friends, and faculty. We look forward to celebrating with you!
